  • I... will... join this group's discussion and contribute in ways I can, but won't go so far as to put my name on anything that the government can see. Like a registered organization. That said, I think a better, more immediate solution, though it is one that requires a certain level of trust, is a thread for approved…
  • Hi! So... I am very sure that I posted a message indicating I had become increasingly unavailable to work on my little project here. I see it never showed up. And that some minor discussion continued in my absence. I now have more time available. Not a ton, but enough to spend at least a few hours a week on physically…
  • @Jackalopiate That actually looks like a solid idea. I'd probably attempt to pair it with https://www.adafruit.com/products/254 for my initial version. Suddenly this sounds slightly more doable. It appears you have more knowledge about Arduino and Arduino compatible things than I do. From what I read the Huzzah appears to…
  • Personally I've been thinking a bone conducting implant where every bit except the bone conducting speaker itself is coated normally, with the speaker on a short wire outside the regular coating, then a thin layer of coating covering the whole thing again, this time including the speaker. To allow the vibrations to…
  • Sorry for my absence everyone. Holidays. Busy. Back to working on things now. Let me take a moment to address a few comments. I'm open to attempting to replace the original board with an arduino chip. I do agree the Gemma is less than ideal (it has 6 pins by the way as I recall, though it's been a little while since I…
  • I too have noticed that, all the meetings and conventions seem to be more central or west coast focused. Not much here on the east coast.
  • @Wyldstorm Yeah, that one part about AIs... the article was about how cyborgs or mutants need a lot of the same things every other human needs (food, water, space) (mutants or other genetically modified people too) so humans would end up competing with such cyborgs for the resources where as AIs don't need those things.…
  • Saw that myself, thought it looked interesting, but I'm a little curious if it's much better than a $40 microscope you could buy online. Any numbers on magnification? (Note, if it's on the page and I didn't see it, my fault. I didn't actually read the whole thing.)
  • Suppose so. I know there's an open source group working to map wifi networks to geographical locations (similar to what Google does), in an effort to reduce reliance on government controlled GPS satellites. That could easily be integrated as well. (I've forgotten what this group is called, but I'm sure I could find it if…
  • @Wyldstorm I'll agree the article wasn't exactly scientifically accurate. I read it more like I would read a science fiction book. But I still somewhat enjoyed it. PS Your point 3 was exactly in-line with what the article said. So... As a side note, I don't care what anyone else says... our "integration" with technology…
  • I'd sooner go for just heightened hearing. Hearing everything already around me. Louder. So I can actually hear it. Of course you would want nearby things adjusted so as not to be too loud. If you want to snoop on things, most public wifi networks are still unencrypted. That would be fairly easy to "listen" to and convert…
  • If you ship me your DVR, I'll figure it out. If you want it back... include a return shipping label. ... In reality though, it's probably online somewhere or will be shortly. The whole "episode", basically whatever was on during that hour. Wouldn't surprise me to find that someone else already made a clip of just that…
  • Hm... based on that, all I can suggest is trying a different tag with the phone to see if any work. My guess is that perhaps it's a slightly different version than what the phone is compatible with. I've had some experience with dealing with multiple versions of NFC and finding the right tags to work with newer devices.…
  • Did it ever work? After implanting that is. If not, did you by chance test it before implanting it? Does the area around the implant have any visible changes since it worked? My guess is the tag either receded into your hand too far (have you tried reading from the other side of your hand?) or it got damaged, either during…
  • @JohnDoe Funny. Laughed a little. @Cassox Unless it's against the rules... unlimited wishes I believe would be the best... Alternatively... don't know. Every time I think of it I'd always think that it'd be cheating and I wouldn't be satisfied with anything I got out of it, but hey, I don't know. Maybe I would get over it.…
  • If it's not too inconvenient I would appreciate finding out what it is. I assume it's a decent quality machine based on what you've said (sounds like a company using it to mass coat lots of things).
  • Cool. Didn't know that. Just assumed that my distinguishing 3D sounds currently was merely a result of knowing sort of where things were in said 3D space and being able to figure it out with just 2 speakers. Though I did always assume how having more speakers than I have (essentially) input microphones, wouldn't help. Sort…
  • As a side note I'll mention that a lot of people have mentioned keeping stitches for no more than a few (3 at most) days after finger tip magnet implants. I'll sort of agree, though due to supply issues I still haven't gotten a magnet implanted, but from other experiences and input from others, I believe that a tightly…
  • That's the perfect answer to my question and the illustration is also very informative. Thanks!
  • I'm afraid I don't really have an answer to all of those, but here's what I do have. I do consider human life worth more than other life, but only as much as, I am one (a human) ... (for now) ... and I'd save my life at the expense of any other non-human life if it were necessary (such as food, or if I was attacked by an…
  • @JDM21 Personally I intend on waiting to get my magnets, but I am curlous, what Machine on particular handles the coating? The one that the company I guess is using for other things and that cost you that much to use? Also, was that in USD or AUD (the $800)?
  • @Frank I am already working on a non-implanted device to handle audio signals, but I'd prefer an implant eventually, mostly because this particular sort of implant couldn't possibly be heard by anyone else since it doesn't actually produce audio vibrations at all. Whatever I do, it's a long ways off, currently I'm…
  • @Wyldstorm, you literally can only think about 1 thing at a time. So it'd be sort of like listening to a person talking about one thing while reading a book, you'd probably manage to get the general idea of both, but you'd likely miss out on details from both. Depends on your personal abilities. Test yourself reading while…
  • I guess I meant... in an arm or a leg, the skin wraps around the arm (or leg) and has blood vessels and nerves that reach every bit of it. But do those blood vessels and nerves go through the arm in a more central position (closer to the bone) and then branch out to reach the skin everywhere, or do they enter the skin in…
  • It's a little off topic but since it's related... Do all of the nerves and blood vessels for the skin flow through the skin? Or are they further down below the skin and merely branch out to the surrounding skin?
  • Hadn't heard of it before. Have now. Thanks for that. It's handy.
  • Alright, soundsnlike it wasn't as good of an ideas as I thought it might be. Didn't know But the damage to the cochlea or the poor resolution (think that term is technically accurate) when compared with natural heating. Thanks for the feedback, that's what I asked for. Back to the drawing board. And my data storage implant.
  • @ChrisBot Some have been, no big deal though. Here's answers in no particular order (though mostly reverse order as I scrolled back up one question at a time while writing my answers.) Diagrams. Possibly. But not until I have a completed prototype with all the hardware bits wired in. (It's easier for me to physically…
  • If I end up incorporating an Arduino Gemma into the final design, there'll be plenty of room for the Qi circuit. The use of the Gemma would be for providing mild additional feedback with a couple extra LEDs and maybe an extra button. It would also handle monitoring the battery for chemical leaks, expansion, and overly high…
  • @ChrisBot Thanks for that. Very useful. Seeing as how I'm not building this entirely from the ground up (the computer circuits and everything are part of a completed, mass produced, consumer product) I think I'm going to do some experimenting first, I'd like to think that the already built in power regulator could safely…
